Wei Zheng, Fang Du and the others didn't directly ignore what Li Er said, but directly ignored Li Er himself. They drank one cup at a time and discussed the new dishes of the Lion House.
Li Er couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. Damn it, all of these people are going to rebel?
Li Eryi became anxious for a moment, sweating profusely, and anxiously continued to explain to everyone how much resistance he had overcome when he ordered the establishment of the Ordnance Institute, and how much budget he subsequently spent.
But no matter how noisy the Lion Tower is.
The reform and evolution of Datang's military base has finally been completed with supporting equipment.
As time went on, the factories near Chang'an also quickly started to operate at full speed to produce the musket. During this period, Li Er and others discovered a troublesome problem, and they were particularly happy amidst the joy of having solved the problem perfectly.
What shocked me was that although the smaller artillery gun was actually manufactured unexpectedly, the manufacturing process was still quite difficult and quite a bit crude.
After all, a musket is an iron pipe. The outside is easy to work with and is no different from an ordinary weapon. The craftsmen in China are very familiar with making this kind of thing. It is a normal weapon manufacturing process. But the inside part
, it’s hard to say.
The barrel of the artillery of the Tang Dynasty was poured directly out of the clay pottery embryo, and then the inside was polished with columnar tools.
But this gun is not easy to make. First of all, although this thing is not as powerful as the artillery, it requires more precise molds. Secondly, after the molten iron is poured, the internal fire chamber is much thinner than the artillery, so it is more difficult to polish.
Disaster.
, and here comes a magical phenomenon, the manufacturing of muskets is not much more difficult than that of artillery!
Of course, artillery is the most important weapon of the Tang Dynasty and it is the most important thing to control the country. This thing is definitely not easy to make. There are more processes than muskets. Of course, the craftsmanship requirements are the highest and not the second highest. But,
In any case, in comparison, the manufacture of this musket is indeed much more difficult and expensive.
How to solve this matter, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others discussed it over and over again, but they still could not come to any conclusion. However, that is what they said, but in the end the manufacturing of muskets continued. No matter what, now
The Tang Dynasty had this kind of weapon that could instantly kill the enemy at a distance of forty or fifty steps. The most important thing was that it shot like lightning and did not consume physical strength. It can be said that it was extremely powerful and at the same time extremely convenient. It is already very good to have such a good thing.
Not bad.
And after all this, it took about a month of hard work, and Li Er finally saw with his own eyes the first batch of muskets being sent to the steam train outside Chang'an City, and a big stone fell to his heart - no matter what
, this batch of new weapons that have been expeditedly produced will not necessarily allow the Tang Dynasty to immediately decide the outcome with the Romans, but at least it should be able to relieve the current danger of the Tang army being besieged, and further ensure that the cannibalization plan can be
Good luck again!
However, what Li Er didn't expect was that just after the musket was sent away that night, he and Wei Zheng and others went out for a celebration banquet, and met an unexpected person, Li Sheng.
The last time Li Sheng appeared in Chang'an, it was to contact the maid Ying'er who was in charge of Zizhenzhai in Chang'an, and to recruit some capable business talents to Qiongzhou Island. Only then can the development go smoothly. After all, Qiongzhou Island is not a place waiting to be wasted.
Being prosperous - everything is waiting for prosperity is a luxurious state, because it at least means that there are people available, and Qiongzhou Island, at this critical point in the Tang Dynasty, was not far different from surviving on a desert island.
Previously, he hired a group of capable people from Ying'er to go to Qiongzhou Island, and the subsequent construction of the commercial district was much smoother - what kind of shops are suitable for opening at which locations. In this regard, Li Sheng is really not as good as these ancients, because in
In Li Sheng's era, for a layman like him, he only knew that high-end restaurants were usually opened in the best locations, and business district economic zones were built with shopping malls as the core. Apart from these, there was nothing else - even this part of Li Sheng's
I don’t know much about the details. After all, by the time Li Sheng finished his studies and had the financial means, online shopping was already taking over.
When almost everyone wants to buy something a little more expensive, they will shop around online to see if there are any coupons available recently. Traditional shopping malls themselves are in decline, and Li Sheng is not doing it.
It’s even less possible to know much about this industry.
Fortunately, since there are ready-made people available, the matter is quite simple - it's just that the business district has been quickly planned by naming the dishes according to the location, but there is no doubt that the next step is that since it is a commercial district, of course it must have various goods -
- There is no reason why Qiongzhou Island can be called "Qiong" state. The most direct and important reason is of course that the word Qiong itself means beautiful jade, and it is appropriate for such a beautiful place to be named after beautiful jade.
meaning.
There are many places with beautiful and magnificent scenery in China, but most of them are not named after beautiful jade. Therefore, to put it bluntly, this place was discovered relatively late. At that time, the people of China were already quite literate. In addition,
This is Qiongzhou Island.
Although it is also a brand-new territory, because there are no barbarians to serve as wild monsters and KPIs for the people of China - the residents of Qiongzhou Island basically trace their origins to China - so naturally, the people of China have little interest in this place.
, the word "Qiong" in Qiongzhou Island has naturally been fixed in this way, as a kind of sustenance of good wishes, without any historical allusions or the like.
, to put it bluntly, there are too few people and it is too desolate. Not only is there almost no one interested in doing business, but what is even more annoying is that it is easy to build a commercial district, but there is no goods at all.
Of course.
Since Li Sheng chose such a place, he naturally did not choose it casually. In this era, there is a high probability that there is no North American empire that is not familiar with China. First, they merged with each other, and after the merger, they started to trade, so together,
The places near the sea have basically become rich.
But one thing Li Sheng is sure of is that even in this world line, in North America.
There is no news about the expedition team sent by the Tang Dynasty. We still don’t know what happened to it. However, no matter what happened to the expedition team, the future of North America must be very good!
Thousands of miles of fertile land are all great plains suitable for farming. This kind of place is a paradise in the eyes of the Chinese people, and it will definitely be developed in the future.
